Wilfrido Perez/Dominican Republic/Murder, Cocaine Possession

ICE New Orleans deported Wilfrido Perez, a citizen of the Dominican Republic who was illegally present in the United States. Perez was apprehended as part of focused enforcement actions targeting violent criminal offenders and individuals whose presence poses a significant threat to public safety.

Perez, 48, has a serious criminal history marked by violent and drug-related offenses. Most notably, he was convicted of murder with intent, a grave crime that involves the deliberate and purposeful taking of another person’s life. Records indicate the murder conviction stemmed from a violent altercation that escalated, resulting in fatal consequences. His involvement in this offense underscored his capacity for extreme violence and disregard for human life.

In addition to his murder conviction, Perez was previously found guilty of cocaine possession, adding to his criminal profile as someone connected to drug-related activity. Law enforcement reports suggest that his drug involvement was not isolated, but part of broader patterns of criminal behavior associated with individuals engaged in serious offenses.

Following completion of his criminal sentence, immigration authorities processed Perez for removal due to the severity of his crimes and his lack of lawful status in the U.S. ICE officers escorted Perez during his deportation, ensuring his transfer back to the Dominican Republic without incident. His case exemplifies the ongoing efforts to identify, arrest, and remove individuals whose presence endangers the safety and security of communities across the nation.

Perez is now barred from legally re-entering the United States under federal immigration laws due to his felony convictions and removal order.
